I have suffered from severe depression since I was young. I (think) I'm pretty smart, but have definitely held myself back from achieving things that I could have because of it. I have found this to be nearly crippling when accompanied with the rejection and difficulty of being an entrepreneur. Professionally, I have done a lot of freelance work as a result. I've held pretty good jobs for ~ 1 year, but eventually have some problem due to workload stress combined with my depression. Regrettably this has made me leave jobs in non-ideal ways. I'm looking for my next great position now, and it's tough to answer the "why did you leave this position and then go freelance last year" with "I let my depression get ahead of me and tried to kill myself." I know that it's an incredible liability to a potential employer to hire someone that might do great work for a year and then abruptly leave. I just needed to get that off my chest.
